Here is a great recipe to soothe irritated skin, and you may even be able to find some of the ingredients in your kitchen cabinets.

• 1/2 cup Oatmeal Flakes
• 1/3 cup Milk Powder
• 1/8 cup Dried Chopped Orange Peel
• 1/8 cup Rose Hip Powder
• 2 Tablespoons Lavender Buds

Mix together and put a large handful in a muslin bag, or tie up in a piece of cheese cloth. Let hang under the bath tub faucet while running the hot water. As you bathe you can use the bag as an exfoliating mitt by rubbing all over your skin. The sticky sliminess of the oatmeal is very soothing to irritated skin, and kids especially like this part of the bath. Towel off, and while body is still warm and moist, apply a good quality oil. If you don’t have any bath oil near by, olive oil or sweet sesame oil (not the toasted variety) will work nicely. Let oil absorb and pat down the skin with a dry towel. You can apply a nice, luxurious moisture cream and then you will be good to go.
